This.

The course should be the course, no matter the weather conditions. It might play a little more difficult in bad weather, or a little easier in good weather, but there's no way Players should be firing the rounds they were in the first 3 days for a US Open. Today is going to be interesting for sure.

I gotta say, I have never understood the fascination with "protecting" an arbitrary number.

The leader after 3 round has taken 204 shots. The leader at this stage last year at the mighty Oakmont had taken 203. Relabeling par 5s as par 4s does not make a course a true test of golf or a good US Open venue.

Happy Father's Day to al of you, hope you enjoy it.

This course is beautiful when the wind blows. Love seeing the waves in the fescue.

You set a goal for the entire golfing summer of shooting an arbitrary number.

Lotta golf to go

Man you guys are being too tough on this tourney. I find it quite exciting. I don't care what the final score is as long as multiple guys have a chance till the end.

I know rooting for Fowler is pointless, but here's hoping.

edit: aaaaand, he 3-putts after blowing it 12-feet past.

MahiMike 06-18-2017 04:43 PM

I picked Fleetwood, oosthuizen and Casey at the start. My kid picked Harman, Koepka and Ricky. He obviously knows more than me...

tk13 06-18-2017 04:55 PM

Matsuyama with a chance to post -12 and make the other guys sweat.

Reerun_KC 06-18-2017 05:34 PM

Surprised they are scoring this easily. Was hoping for a tournament closer to par and some movement on the last day.

Why Not? 06-18-2017 05:42 PM

that should do it.

kstater 06-18-2017 05:42 PM

Scores aside, Koepka put the hammer down, always nice to watch that.

I feel sorry to them that they have to play shinnecock next year. It's gonna be brutal

Koepka just hit a 380 yard 3 wood. We live in a video game world.

That's what I was saying earlier. The massacre at Winged Foot happened the year after Miller's 63.

But who knows... there seemed to be a lot of blowback after the last two setups. Like Adam Scott saying a few weeks ago the USGA needs to worry about growing the game and instead of worrying so much about par. Seems like a lot of guys feel that way. But then again they're playing with equipment that allows them to do things no one has ever done before.
